Cults is the first album from New York duo Cults. The album was released in the US on June 7, 2011 on In the Name Of, an imprint of Columbia Records. The album was recorded over the course of 2010 and early 2011. In early 2010, the band released an EP, which featured two of the songs to appear on the album; "Go Outside" and "Most Wanted". The song "Go Outside" was featured on the soundtrack of the game MLB 11: The Show on Playstation 3.

Reception

The critical response to Cults was generally positive. Jazz Monroe of NME said "the album isn’t quite the tremulous voyage of hearts and minds it wants to be",[5] but Hari Ashurst of the BBC said that "despite the genre signifiers there’s more than enough personality of their own here for Cults to transcend both their blog hit wonder and the timeworn sound they lovingly homage".[10] Jordy Kasko of the webzine The Tune was especially laudatory, calling it "a startlingly professional debut from a couple of NYC nobodys, an album that is infinitely more insightful and complex than its 3-chord structures and lilting melodies imply. If not Album Of The Year, it's at least Album Of The Summer."[8]
